The Huron Expositor, 1975-09-11, Page 7Sp9n$ SDHS attends Playhouse What can we say about the Davis government? Absolutely nothing. It's illegal to say anything. We are Ontario's Crown eMployees and civil servants. Our .political rights are virtually non-existent. Some of us have tried to become active in political parties. We have been told to quit or be fired. We think this is ridiculous. Some of us support Mr. Davis' party. Naturally, others support the NDP or the Liberals. But this doesn't. matter to the government. It simply believes we should have fewer rights than other citizens. We don't agree. What is the harm in our speaking or writing publicly on issues such as housing, education and taxes? Or, what danger is there fdr us to put up lawn signs, or canvass on behalf of a candidate? The government thinks this is wrong. It has made such activities illegal. We believe in basic democratic rights. And this won't cos.t taxpayers a cent. We hope you will vote for equal rights ... for everyone. What more can we say? Whose rights go next?
